ArticleBody:Spotted lanternflies are so four years ago. The hottest new bug fad isn’t even the noisy cicadas currently buzzing all over the Midwest. It’s enormous, yellow, ‘flying’ Joro spiders. Multiple articles would have you believe that there is a serious threat to humans from hoards of spiders jumping out of thin air straight on our faces. However, while the size of these arachnids–particularly the females–can be a bit scary and creepy, their threat to humans is quite low.
” Can they fly? While they cannot really fly, some studies show that this genus is particularly good at “ballooning” or “parachuting.” Numerous arachnids can do this by shooting threads into the air that are still attached to their bodies. The wind then picks the bugs up and carries them to another spot, giving the illusion of flight. They can move tens to hundreds of miles with this process.
